Whenever I have a particularly crappy day, I buy a random person coffee. I like to do this because, selfishly, it makes me feel better. I like knowing that even though my day is shitty, I'm putting something good out into the world and balancing the nasty in my life.
I've been buying a lot of coffees lately.
You see, my Grandma died on Tuesday. It's hard to explain what that means and really, unless we're friends, the only reason you should care is because of this blog. A very rare and precious part of my life has been lost and even though her light is gone, it is reflected in me and everyone she touched throughout her life. I am her mirror and mirrors are reflective. They can transfer images and light, they can start fires and light up rooms, they confront you with your own face and make you look at others. They they can show you a whole new perspective from the exact same spot.
I am my Grandmother's mirror and this blog is my reflection.
I have a great life, even when it's shitty. Through her endless kindness and deep faith, Grandma showed me that at least one good thing happens everyday. At least one. Maybe it's something big, but maybe it's just that the kid at the check out counter was really chatty. Maybe your favorite song was playing when you turned on the radio. Maybe it's just the fact that the day is over and tomorrow is a new one.
So that's what this blog is about. It's a place where at least one good thing will happen each day and get reflected to you and anyone you share it with.
My Grandma died on Tuesday and I bought someone a coffee. That is my good thing.
